Among them are Butcherboy, a thuggish gang leader in league with the guards, and the Casbah Kid, a hardened teenager facing the gallows. La Guma renders this world with extraordinary realism and moral complexity, revealing how solidarity and humanity persist even in the most brutalising of environments. Published in 1967, it remains one of the most powerful works to emerge from apartheid-era South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more from the APOLLO AFRICA series: the new home for 100 timeless works from the legendary Heinemann African Writers Series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57611839635829,"sku":"9781035930517","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781035930517.jpg?v=1790504469","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781035930517","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
